Sixth Form pushed my academic potential and my love for performing arts. Support was always at my fingertips and the transition to university felt seamless, and I left feeling confident and excited for the future.

Additional programmes

More than A Levels

As well as A Levels, students have the opportunity to study Level 3 BTEC qualifications in some subjects, as well as Sports Leaders’ Award, Arts Awards, Duke of Edinburgh and LAMDA qualifications.

Extended Project Qualification

In addition to Sixth Form subjects, students can carry out research on a preferred topic, not covered by their other qualifications with the EPQ. They then produce a written report, an artefact, a production or event.  


It is an excellent chance for students to develop skills that are required for success in the workplace or at university.
